"Veronica then continued to say that she did not want to lose her children about three times," the police report states.

The mother then allegedly took the girl's body and put in the back of her mini van. The following day, according to the report, Herrera walked to Paul's Market to purchase lighter fluid and later placed the body inside a barrel and set the body on fire sometime Thursday.

The woman then allegedly had the rest of her young children help add fuel to the fire, according to the report.

It's not completely known whether her children knew what they were doing, however, she told police that her 9-year-old son "may have known."
